Really Surprised!
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
Best drama thriller movie ever Leo and mark ruffalo totally nailed it
Not to be 'snobbish,' but it may be that I've been watching a lot of European movies lately, because I thought this film was laughably bad. I cringed about every five minutes, and could only watch the film in 15-minute intervals. Ruffalo and DaCaprio with phony noir accents, Ben Kingsley doing a poor imitation of Vincent Price, Contrived art direction that was worthy of Young Frankenstein (although Shutter Island apparently isn't supposed to be a comedy. The two FBI agents walking around in pajamas without their guns? And this film was produced before the Trump presidency. Well, chacun a son gout.
I never really planned to watch this film because I read the book years before they made this movie. However, a boring afternoon caused me to break down and finally watch it. While the movie does not stray too far from the spirit of the book, it addresses some aspects in a different way that I found quite satisfying. Anyway, I will leave the serious reviews to those who can actually write.
I for some reason didn't watch this when it was first released. Unfortunately I have seen a lot of talk about it over the years and have had some pieces spoiled for me so I kind of already new what was going on. Except the movie was done well enough that I still questioned what was happening until the end. Great movie but for me wish I had seen it earlier.
